Inside the Demon King's artificial realm, True Paradise.
"You used to look disgusting like a rotting corpse before but at least had the guts to fight me head-on…"
"But look at you now; you have become a coward… so much so that even your world authority has evolved in the direction of deception..."
Standing atop a broken hill, Ashtel smiled at the demon king mockingly.
Dozens of injuries were piled up on Ashtel's body, and the realm that seemed to be connected to his soul was visibly more damaged than before.
All those injuries were actually made on Ashtel's body because he himself damaged the artificial realm and thus in turn injured his own body and soul.
As for the demon king, he was only missing an arm; aside from that, he was still in good shape.
"Say whatever you want to say, Ashtel Rex, but I will not be swayed by your words."
"All I can say to you, is that you are a brave person who dares to keep attacking me despite knowing that you are harming yourself too…"
